Giants have $8,306,496 in cap room according to overthecap
There are 21 teams with more cap space than we have available. At least two have reportedly shown interest in Hankins in Indianapolis ($30,633,509 space) and Miami ($20,815,773 space). There is a ton of cash out there ($602,140,526) that is available to be spent across the league.
Add in the fact that Hankins is looking for somewhere around $10m/year (probably similar to the kind of deals that Damon Harrison and Tyrone Crawford signed)
How would NYG be able to come out on top in a bidding war?
Damn the cost and start the bidding until Hankins says "I always wanted to stay in NY after all".
You want Bromley to step up...really?
This may come as a shock to you....ready? Are you sitting down? Here goes..
There are other defensive tackles besides Hankins and Bromley. If Hankins doesn't sign, it is a near certainty that another DT will be added via FA or early in the draft.
Hankins is good, not great, and not worth 10 million. That is why he is still unemployed.
The Giants played this correctly.
'Would have been nice if Reese made a move on Jernigan'...
Agreed. For that compensation it should have been a no brainer we went after him. Word was out weeks ago even on BBI that the Ravens would probably need to move him after paying Brandon Williams a king's ransom.
It's whether the guy wants to be here. It's probably to his credit if he'd rather be a small fish in a big pond, here, or he'd like to go someplace where he'll be one of the leaders.
It's risky for him to leave the Giants. He's been a Giant his whole career, a high draft choice, and he's known to the coaches and his teammates.
The new team that paid a lot of money for him just expects him to produce, no excuses.
It's not about the money for the Giants. The Giants eight million under are in better shape than a team twenty million other because they've invested the money in good young players.
The salary cap isn't the same under the new CBA where the league has raised the cap ten million, ten million and twelve million over the last three seasons. More teams are re-signing their own big-ticket free agents. The Cowboys, who may have been hit the worst by players leaving, were ten million over the cap going into the offseason.

I'd move on from Hankins. There's nothing wrong with wanting to get paid but the way this is playing out I'm afraid that's all he wants. Let him impact someone else's cap and draft a DT early.
The Giants have a pretty good track record with DT's and the draft.

It makes a lot of sense for the Colts to be interested in Hankins and he has our standing offer to benchmark against
This is a business decision, I completely understand Hankins wanting the best deal he can get and this how the business side of things plays out.
It is likely that other teams will offer more money than we can for Hankins.
Exactly. If he can get more from another team I'll be sad to see him go, but good for him--this may be his only shot at big guaranteed money.
He's replaceable
